Nope - Will did, mine had engine issues that put me out at Spa and decided to wait until the off season to start again

not driven it yet in e36 but my best in e46 csl road car was 2m10s so we had predicted a sub 2m 08s in e36 as our Donny times worked out the same ration quicker than CSL

[woof]

I assume it's the 300 circuit for the first round ?

Looking forward to a few good scraps this season then.

It's going to be bloody close with you M3 guys - that's for sure. I should have bought that GT3

I'm not so sure about that. Lee Spencer in the WSR e36 will be even quicker this year, I've no doubt Amspeed haven't stood still either.

Lee isn't at Donington on Saturday so was hoping we might get a win, but it's due to rain so my money is on Neville in the Vectra as that thing flies in the rain.

Wet quali and dry race I think for Saturday.
We're way under power at the moment. Don't know if we'll be ready and on pace for Snetterton. Out tomorrow at a wet Snetterton
Who else it out tomorrow ?

[woof]

Just seen that Peter Morris has joined up - it's going to be a very competitive A class !
Some very fast Porsches and M3s now

3 x 996s
1 x 993

[shim]

what times do you think will be top class a times for Donny National?

[BAZZ69]

With your cars i would think 1.18s or less. We can do a 1.20 in our 944 S2. Bazz

i agree, our car isnt up to full kumho class a but id certainly be targetting under 1m 18.0s and hopeful of squeezing under 1m 17.0s

but thats just hoping!

I got pole last year with a 1:19.5, which was surprising as the car felt terrible.

Raced there today and got the quickest lap of the race - 1:20.1! Once again there was something wrong with the rear of the car, it'd be nice to do a race there with a car that isn't slightly broken.

our car isnt broken thankfully, but essentially it is our 325 from last year with an Evo engine, loom and bigger tyres.......but much more fun

I got the impression that most people's times were about a second slower than last year, inc me! Maybe the cold and wind slowed slowed us down a bit, and the fact that most of us were a bit race rusty?
